Bricks – Building Charleston’s Past and Present

February 20, 2018 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Brick making was an essential task in the Charleston from the earliest days…whether for houses or to construct the wall to protect the infant city from potential Spanish invasion. At the DIHS February meeting, Southwick “Cary” Briggs will present the history of brick making, both locally and more broadly. Cary owns a firm that specializes in producing period-correct bricks, and he works in consultation with places like Colonial Williamsburg, The American College for the Building Arts, and other institutions.
